Jumuna, previously known as Shan Mohangi, was convicted of the murder of Hazel Mullen in Dublin, Ireland in 1962.
Hoosen later stated 'that had the party been aware of the issue in the first place, Jumuna would not have been selected as a candidate.' This is completely untrue as Shan Mohangi's past was public knowledge and was consistently on the front page of all newspapers during previous election campaigns.
Everyone in Sough African politics was aware of his past.
He was elected to the Durban city council in 1996 and served on the council until 2001.

He joined the National Assembly in the same year.
The ID joined the DA in 2010 and Hoosen was given dual party membership.
In 2011, Errol Walters, who served on the Democratic Alliance's electoral college, stated that the party was 'rife with nepotism and cronyism', alluding to the 'parachuting' of Hoosen's wife- Sharon Chetty.
The then DA provincial leader Sizwe Mchunu stated: “It’s absolute, absolute lies.” Mchunu explained that: “This appears to be people who are aggrieved they didn’t make it… it’s sour grapes”.
In 2012, Hoosen was elected as the Provincial Chairperson of the DA.
Within the Official Opposition Shadow Cabinet, he was the Shadow Minister of Home Affairs from 2014 to 2019, the Shadow Minister of Cooperative Governance and Traditional Affairs from 2019 to 2020 and the DA's spokesperson on the Standing Committee on the Auditor-General from 2020 until his resignation in 2024.

The ANC retained control of the municipality and Hoosen remained an MP.
In 2016, Hoosen was nominated as the Democratic Alliance's mayoral candidate for eThekwini.
